Quality
Quality check methods include a film thickness gauge, tape to check adhesion, and a cross-cut sample test.
The appearance is visually checked for color, dust, spots, dimples, etc. by referring to a defect size estimation chart. Screws are used to check the functionality of tapped holes. 
* The hanging jig used during the painting process may leave some scratches and marks; see the photo above.
